One of the most sacred places for Muslims, Eyüp is a friendly place, and holds the tomb of one of the close friends of the Prophet Mohamed.
Once a village, and outside the city walls of Istanbul, Eyüp has since long grown to be part of Istanbul. It is actually named after Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, who was a close friend, follower and bodyguard of the Prophet Mohamed, one of the early adapters of Islam and part of the early Islam leadership. He fell in one of the many battles carrying Islam's banner and was buried outside the walls. Much later, in the 15th century a new mosque was built with the tomb of Ayyub next to it. It ranks fourth of sacred Muslim sites in the world, after Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem.
